Name: Jackson ‘Jacko’ Shapiera

Age: 19

Sponsors: Hopkin Racing, Rayne Longboards, Orangatang Wheels

Where I’m from: I’ve been living on Sydney’s Northern Beaches all my life

What I ride: Slalom, downhill, sliding, ditch, and anything with wheels…

Favorite place to skate: Mt Kiera, Wollongong. Its about 8k’s of winding hotmix with a pretty fast straight to finish with.

What got me started: I’ve had a longboard since i was in 8th grade and when I watched DogTown and Z-Boys for the first time I really wanted to get into all the old-skool stuff like street surfing and hill bombing. Then i met up with the ASRA crew at a slalom jam one day and history worked it’s magic from there

Favourite Skaters: My mates coz we always just jam around and have fun. But other than them it would have to be Steve Daddow, Team Green, Mischo Erban coz he’s got such a solid style and Sergio Yuppie
